April 20 (Reuters) - Restaurant Group Plc (Other OTC: RSTGF - news) finance chief, Barry Nightingale, is set to leave the company after less than a year in the role, Sky News reported on its website.

The owner of the Frankie & Benny's chain said last month it would seek to offer better value and improved service to win back customers after reporting lower annual profit in 2016.
